A court said Tuesday it will deliver its verdict next month on whether former President Yoon Suk Yeol obstructed justice by blocking investigators from detaining him over his short-lived imposition of martial law. The sentencing hearing will be held Jan. 16, the bench overseeing his trial at the Seoul Central District Court said. Yoon has been indicted on obstruction of justice and other charges in connection with his December 2024 declaration of martial law.
